What "pro life" is really about. Reddit Reredd: alpacalypse on abortion

I'd just like to add one thing-- this comment wasn't really meant as a full-on statement about the abortion issue, and it has a lot of holes in it with regard to abortion. It was more aimed at trying to explain how the religious right can hold so many seemingly contradictory viewpoints, and what sort of attitude or ideology migh tbe at the center.

First I must say you are correct about the rape issues. Those people who claim to be pro-life but make exceptions for rape are not really pro-life. As fro punishment, I do think there should be punishment, but it is not my job to give that punishment. Pro-lifers condemned the murder of George Tiller because we do not condone vigilante justice.

WOW

@TheSilentNumber That is absolute bullshit. You just stereotyped way to many people buddy. Just because you are unable to fathom the opinions and underlying reasons of others does not mean they are illegitimate nor bullshit. Go fuck yourself.

Golly. I thought there were no smart people on the Internet.

I'm tired of everybody treating Abortion as a Black and White issue. It can not be limited to "Banned from every situation" or "On every street corner."

Hi. I'm as pro-life as they come and I completely disagree.

I could not care any less about homosexuals or promiscuous people (we "all sin a fall short").

All I care about is the human life that is killed by abortion. Believe me, that's all.

Rape, incest, danger to the Mom are simply middle ground where we're willing to meet pro-choice to try and move the marker a little more towards our view.

I suggest you go interview someone who's pro life for one of your videos.
